The Senior Partner Solutions Engineer owns both the technical work and the relationship for a portfolio of Sanity's technology partners. You scope, prototype, and review the technical side of partner solutions and you also manage the partner relationship itself, the business conversations and day-to-day project management. You report to the VP, Technical Partnerships.
Most integrations ship through the partner's own engineering team or Sanity R&D-your job is to make sure what gets built is the right thing, built the right way, and that the partnership itself stays healthy and productive.
What you would do:- Partner Relationship & Strategic Advisory
- Own the relationship with a portfolio of partners: the project plan, the roadmap, the business conversation, and the technical scoping, as one continuous thread
- Lead conversations with partner business and product leaders, moving fluidly between strategic and technical framing
- Assess technical feasibility and effort on the spot well enough to keep a strategic conversation moving, then follow up with real scoping
- Shape partner pitches and joint roadmaps with grounded technical input, so commitments made in the room are ones R&D or the partner can actually deliver
Technical Scoping & Prototyping
- Identify and document the technical opportunity for a partner integration or MCP-based solution: architecture, API surface, data flows, and integration points
- Build prototypes and proofs of concept where they de-risk a build or clarify a design decision. You don't need to create production-bound code, but enough to validate the approach
- Produce clear technical documentation so a partner's engineering team or Sanity R&D can build to production without re-doing the scoping work
- Navigate partner APIs, SDKs, and technical documentation directly; speak credibly with partner engineers about integration design and trade-offs
- Partner with R&D during build and launch to answer scoping questions and validate the implementation against the original opportunity
Technical Review
- Review partner-built integrations for code quality, security posture, API usage, and joint customer value
- Give partners clear, actionable feedback, and flag systemic gaps back to Product/Engineering
AI & Technical Fluency
- Be fluent in core AI application architecture and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You know enough to scope and prototype confidently, not just evaluate on paper
- Hands-on evaluation of partners' AI product surfaces (model choices, agent tooling, developer experience) to inform scoping decisions
- Identify where Sanity's content platform creates real technical leverage inside an AI-native partner's stack, and document that opportunity clearly enough for someone else to build it
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work with Sanity R&D to hand off scoped opportunities, support them through the build and represent partner needs in the roadmap
- Support Solutions Architects and Sales Engineering with technical assets (reference architectures, prototypes) from your partners
What Success Looks Like- The breadth and depth of integrations you own contribute measurably to Sanity product adoption and signup growth from new customers
- Partners and internal stakeholders treat you as a knowledgeable owner of the relationship: both its technical direction and its business trajectory
- R&D and partner engineering teams can pick up your specs and prototypes and build from them without re-doing the scoping work
- Partners treat you as a credible technical peer who understands both their business strategy and their architecture deeply.
About you:- Required
- 3-6 years as a software engineer, solutions engineer, or technical partner/integration role, with a track record of scoping technical integrations, handing them off cleanly to a build team, and managing the relationships around them
- A builder mentality: you generate your own creative ideas for what a joint solution could be, rather than waiting for someone to hand you something to evaluate
- Comfortable in the room with business and product leaders-able to translate strategic conversation into technical feasibility and back again
- Hands-on experience with APIs, SDKs, webhooks & modern AI/developer tools; comfortable prototyping directly in partner or third-party codebases
- Working knowledge of core AI/LLM concepts and hands-on experience with the MCP framework
- Strong technical writing: able to turn a scoping conversation into a spec someone else can build from
- Comfortable operating independently across ambiguous, undefined problems as well as well-scoped review work
Nice to Have
- Experience reviewing or auditing third-party integrations for security or architecture
- Experience with headless CMS or headless commerce integration patterns
- Background in developer relations or technical partnerships
- You've used Sanity in production or built your own solutions with Sanity
